Coaching Certifications

The CAN Life Coaching Certification Course is a 150-hour program of study that provides people with fundamental and foundational coaching skills which prepares them to do general life coaching as a Certified CAN Coach (150hrs) upon completion of all certification requirements. Graduates of this program can practice as a Certified CAN Coach upon completion.


We also offer further training courses in a variety of special-interest areas to help coaches develop their niche and gain expertise with specific groups of people. Areas of specialization include coaching with parents, end-of-life coaching, and group facilitation. Each course provides coaches with a specified number of additional hours to be applied toward their credentials. For example, a graduate of our 150-hour Life Coaching Certification Course who takes  an additional certification course with a 50-hour curriculum will be issued an updated Certificate with the title “Certified CAN Coach” and “200 Hours”.
